Checked your power steering fluid? Low fluid will make the pump whine when turning.

Change out the rear end fluid and add some posi-additive to it. I got mine at autozone for like $6 and I haven't had the noise since then.

Unless you have a vacuum pump to pull through the check plug than yes you need to pull the rear diff cover for the fluid to drain out. You will need at least silicon to reseal the rear cover. As for fluid capacity alldata just specifies to the top of the fill hole i would imagine no more than 2 quarts.
